( Newshub Desk)Amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, multiple nations have issued travel warnings for the region, urging their citizens to exercise extreme caution.
The advisories follow India’s Operation Sindoor, a strategic counter-terror operation targeting militant infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Singapore have taken precautionary measures, warning against travel near the volatile border areas and disputed regions.
These advisories come in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, which left 26 civilians dead.
Key Travel Warnings:
- The US Embassy advised American citizens to avoid conflict zones, citing potential terrorism and military activity near the India-Pakistan border.
- The UK government urged British nationals to refrain from travelling within 10 kilometres of the India-Pakistan border and parts of Pakistan’s Balochistan province.

With diplomatic discussions underway, authorities are monitoring the situation closely while urging travellers to remain vigilant. Experts fear the conflict could have far-reaching geopolitical and economic consequences, affecting global travel and trade.
